My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello, My name is CHESTER and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Golden Retriever / Australian Shepherd mix
Age: 2 years
Gender: Male
Weight: 25 kg
Height: 24 in
Highlight(s): Polite, Social, Intelligent, Quick learner, Loving, Gentlemanly.



I’m a true gentleman who loves everyone! Kind, intelligent, and beautiful, ready for a lifelong partner to share in all of life’s adventures.

I was found as a tiny puppy on a Middle Eastern street.
Kind children tried feeding me pieces of bone, but I was far too small to eat them.

Thankfully, my rescuer brought me home just in time.
Now a joyful companion, I am ready for my new chapter in Canada.

Full of "puppy joy", pure happiness leads to jumping whenever friends appear!
As a smart, quick learner, stuffed animals and toys are favorites.
Playful digging can happen with other dogs, but should settle with maturity and training.

Note on Diet: One thing to know is that I currently enjoy delicious meals of chicken with vegetables instead of dry food.

A fenced yard is ideal for those jumping skills, though adapting without one is possible if kept active.
Leash safety is essential until recall is solid.

I'm a bit hesitant to get into the car at first, but stay calm once the ride starts.

Energy Level: moderate to moderate high

I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Cats: unknown
Kids: yes

Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.

Training: 
Leash skills: some. Please be prepared to continue training.
House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.

Health notes:
I have been spayed/neutered & vaccinated. I will be microchipped before arrival.

My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. While our rescuers always seek a flight without a charge, there is the possibility of a passenger fee, to a max of $300.



Most passengers from the Middle East now require a fee to accompany a dog on a flight. Due to this, if a rescuer finds a flight with this requirement, we will contact you to see if you are willing to pay the passenger. You are under no obligation to do this. If not, another flight will need to be searched for, though there is no guarantee a free or lower cost one will be found. Though oft times a passenger is requesting higher amounts, the fee will not exceed $250. Our rescuers work extremely hard finding flights and spend tremendous amounts of money caring for and sending these dogs to safety. They simply haven't the extra money to cover this. Thank you for your understanding.



Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.

Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.



Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.

Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.



While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or  Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 - $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs.



The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.



Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.



[MID-EAST] *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordetella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East.



[TURKEY] *Dogs receive 4D SNAP tests - which include: Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.

Take the Pet Home

As adopters of overseas dogs will be taking their dog home from the airport, they have a couple of weeks to decide if the dog is a fit.

Additional adoption info

We offer a foster to adopt program for adopters of overseas dogs. As they will be taking their dog home straight from the airport, they have a couple of weeks to decide if the dog is a fit. In the rare times the dog isn’t found suitable we will find the dog another home.

More about this rescue

Loved At Last Dog Rescue operates in the Greater Vancouver area. We rescue and rehome local dogs as well as homeless dogs from numerous countries around the world, including Mexico, Korea, China, Iran, Kuwait, Bahrain and India. Many of these dogs have experienced hardship and cruelty yet they are gentle and loving. We have found that dogs who have experienced suffering appreciate every kindness shown them. All our dogs are fully vaccinated, microchipped and those over 6 months are spayed or neutered.
